The charming rustic cabin at the top of our meadow is available during the summer & autumn months. It has a woodstove for heat on cooler nights, and a quaint outhouse nestled into the trees. There's no running water; it's brought in in jugs for drinking and dishwashing. Bathing is available in the main house. Enjoy the peace and glorious views: not a house in sight, only trees, sky, wildlife and wildflowers. Get away from it all in your own personal retreat location!

The space was once a hunting cabin, but now feels a little more like a cozy gypsy caravan. Situated at the top of a meadow with no other houses in sight, immersed in the peace and quiet of the Vermont countryside, and yet only a short hop from the I-91, Springfield and Chester. Beyond the cabin on both sides of the meadow lie our own 40 acres of woodland, which you are free to explore. Above the cabin, a network of trails gives you access to a much larger acreage, ideal for hiking, snow-shoeing, cross country skiing, bird-watching etc. There is a stone fire-ring just in front of the cabin for a warming camp fire in the evenings, with fireflies and the sound of distant coyotes in the woods on summer nights.
NB. The cabin is not suitable for families with children, or for those with mobility constraints. This is a delightful location and a lovely cabin but will suit best the more adventurous guests.

Despite being only a short drive from the interstate, East View Farm is in a tranquil location with no traffic noise, headlights or streetlamps. There are no towns in sight and only birds and other wildlife for company.
Fishing:
It is a short drive to the Black River, the Connecticut River, and the Williams River for fly fishing or bass fishing and even the famous Battenkill River is within easy driving distance. Information on these rivers and fishing spots is available, and we can direct you to the nearest location to purchase your Vermont fishing license.
Skiing/snowboarding:
Within easy driving distance of the farm is the Okemo Mountain Resort, Magic Mountain Ski Area, Stratton Mountain Resort, and Grafton Ponds Cross Country Ski Area. Slightly further afield lie Kinllington, Bromley, the Suicide Six, and Pico Mountain ski areas. For those arriving by train or otherwise without vehicle access, a drop-off and pick-up car service can be arranged, subject to availability.
Restaurants:
Springfield offers excellent dining in a refined atmosphere at the Hartness House Inn, which also offers a lively evening of live music on Thursdays from Spring to Fall. The menu is frequently updated, and includes a plethora of delicious locally sourced fresh food. Tours of the fascinating telescope museum can also be arranged.
Another tremendous local eatery is the Black Rock Steakhouse in Springfield. it offers standard restaurant fare, an excelent salad bar, and what is to us, a world class filet mignon that you can cook yourself on your own sizzling flat rock. A 'paleo' dream come true! The restaurant has a full bar, and is a lively, family-friendly haunt that is popular with visitors and locals alike.
We have a guide available to assist you in your choice of many other local options for eating out.

This is a very cozy cabin tucked in a very cozy place. The cabin space itself is vibrant, clean, and is situated right near some hiking trails through the back woods. Aimee and her husband are very friendly and made sure we had all that we needed. Highly recommended for a wonderful Vermont getaway.

The farm cabin is even more idyllic than we expected. Tucked into the high side of a sloping meadow, the cabin offers spectacular views and great privacy. Showers, ponds, and provided water were on offer for bathing and washing up. The only noises at night are the crickets, raindrops, and occasional fox or coyote. Stargazing and satellite-spotting is grand. The kitchen and bookshelf are well stocked, and the fire pit and hammock are close by, leaving it up to you to decide how you want to Do Nothing. Aimeé & Rich are great, friendly hosts, sharing their space and stories as much or little as you would like. The main house is definitely cushier than the cabin and has a welcoming crowd of ducks. Consider picking up basic provisions (and a couple of bags of ice for the large cooler) *before* you arrive because you probably won't want to leave once you get there.

Beth2017-08-20T00:00:00Z

I spent four lovely nights at the cabin. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Aimee and Rich are friendly, generous, and attentive hosts—I enjoyed spending time with them and their adorable son. You won't have to pack much to enjoy your stay at the cabin as Aimee and Rich have stocked it with a variety of lamps, candles, and battery powered lights, as well as cooking pots and pans, an ice box, utensils, a propane stove, and even salt and pepper. And a mandolin. And a variety of books to read if it gets rainy. Rich and Aimee also made sure I had enough water in the cabin each day. I enjoyed walking on the trails just behind the cabin, and there are longer trails in the state and national forests a short drive away. I spent evenings around a campfire, and watched a sunset from a nearby overlook a five minute walk from the cabin (the cabin itself has a sunrise view). It is very peaceful and you can enjoy watching wild turkey, deer, and birds from the front porch. Or if that is too much nature for you, I found there was good Verizon reception and the cabin even has a solar panel to recharge batteries.

The studio/cabin is set up as a rustic retreat, perfect for composing, writing, painting and walks in the woods. Sleep on a futon in front of the glowing wood stove, wake up to the birds and make a cup of tea or coffee in the kitchenette and enjoy the view. The bathroom is private with a water dispenser and composting toilet.
This is a perfect place for a retreat where you can sit and "be," create or head off for a hike in the lovely woods which surround the property.

This studio building sits on a hillside above our house and meadow. The woods are lovely to walk in and a covered bridge, old graveyard and the Williams River are just down the hill for a good walk.
The kitchenette has a microwave, coffee pot, electric kettle and refrigerator. The water is bottled water and there is a hot and cold water dispenser in the bathroom. If you need to connect to wi-fi, it is available at our house as is a shower and tub in the guest bathroom. Just ask and we will supply a key to that entrance.
Coffee, tea, milk, juice and muffins will await you upon arrival. Wood for the wood stove and fire pit will be on hand for cosy fires.

Our neighbors are quiet and far apart, but we all wave as we pass on the dirt road.

This timber frame apartment is on the second floor, with hillside views of swaying white pines, stonewalls, blueberry bushes and a clean flowing stream. Skylights and newer timber frame construction add to a bright private space and relaxing atmosphere.

Chester is an historical 250 year old town in Vermont with a center Green, recreational areas, bookstore, restaurants, grocery store, shops and registered historical landmark stone houses.

This is a little treasure in the middle of ski country. It is a spacious place that is so much more convenient then a hotel or lodge. The location is wonderful and quiet. Nick was so very gracious upon our arrival. Tamasin was very responsive in all our communications. We would recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable place to stay in southern VT. Should we find ourselves skiing in the area we would like to stay here again.

Sue2017-01-07T00:00:00Z

We simply loved Tamasin's and Nick's beautiful house. Surrounded by woods and very quiet, it was still close to local skiing areas. The design of the place is very simple and rustic, with warm wood elements throughout the house, large windows letting in lots of daylight and views onto the trees. We stayed with our friends and had plenty of space for 2 families. The parents spent a lot of time around the dining table and the kitchen island, while the kids played in the upstairs loft or read books in the open living space. We're hoping to be back next year!

Adam2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing stay here. The coziest cabin in a gorgeous woodland area. Great area, spent our days snowboarding at Okemo and enjoyed exploring the area some in the evening. The cabin was very clean, light, and beautiful. Very nice to have a wood stove after a day outside in freezing temps. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking dishes and accessories. Tamasin was a wonderful host, very accessible and helpful with everything. Also was a treat to see all the incredible blown glass art on display! Would love to stay here again!

Sarah2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

We were two couples who had a very nice stay here for the New Year's weekend. It served as a really comfortable and relaxing home base while hitting the slopes at Okemo. Tamasin was very detailed and welcoming and the place had so much character. We would definitely return here without a doubt.

Jeff2017-01-02T00:00:00Z

Great place for a weekend getaway. Our group consisted of three couples and there was plenty of space for everyone. We went to Okemo for one day of the weekend - was easily accessible and about a 25 minutes drive. Loved the wood stove after a long day of skiing! Highly recommend booking with Tamasin!

Sally2017-02-05T00:00:00Z

beautiful home and great value for us to ski at Okemo and loved the glass art, my boys loved getting to see him make some too

Jennifer2017-01-22T00:00:00Z

Nick and Tamasin's home is incredible. It's on the second level of their glass blowing studio overlooking 93 acres of forest. This Airbnb is private and exactly what you want when visiting Vermont. Our group of 6 slept comfortably with more that enough room to spread out, cook, and lounge around. All of the the beds were very comfortable as well. Also, the wood burning stove is great to cozy up to after skiing. Okemo is about 20 minutes away. Nick and Tamasin were responsive, the house was clean, check-in and out was flexible... And we even got to watch Nick work in the studio before heading out. Truly a unique experience! I would highly recommend this home to anyone. We will be back.

Shaun2017-01-16T00:00:00Z

Tamasin & Nick's apartment is gorgeous! Very light and airy yet still cozy, with beautiful views of snowy trees. It was a perfect location for our family of skiers & non-skiers to spend a few days relaxing between Christmas & New Years. We would love to come back!

Great trip. Very convenient location in charming Chester,VT. Close distance to ski areas, Okemo, Magic Mt, Broomley and Stratton. The apartment was great. Very clean and comfortable. The host was very welcoming, tentative, and super nice. We had a great stay and will be back soon. Thanks Jennifer.

Jerry2017-02-12T00:00:00Z

The Carriage House was absolutely charming! The perfect space for our six-person VT weekend. Beautiful floors, nice kitchen, solid wifi, and great water pressure! We had an absolute blast, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend it to larger parties looking for a getaway! Jennifer was on-site and available on the first day, and I appreciated her clarity re: parking!

Veronica2017-07-30T00:00:00Z

Our group of seven were comfortable in this cozy multi-room space. We found the kitchen well-stocked with utensils and pots/pans for preparing a meal. There is a convenient grocery market across the street which we utilized several times. There are also several good restaurants within less than a mile walk from the carriage house. Jennifer and Michael were thoughtful and responsive.

Gregory2017-02-26T00:00:00Z

Very responsive hosts! We had no problem checking-in, and everything was provided for us prior to arrival. Upon arriving, we were greeted with a clipboard with additional "good to know" information for the house. House was very comfy and cozy, and the futon is surprisingly firm and solid – we thoroughly enjoyed it as an additional sleeping piece. However, it can get a little chilly at night, so we gave the futon sleeper the extra blankets, and left the bedroom doors open to share the heat, which was helpful. Not sure if it was the bedsheets, but the bed had static – not a big deal though. Other than that, they had everything from towels (+extras), to bedsheets (+extras), bathroom essentials (body wash, shampoo, q-tips, etc), common kitchen use (pam oil, salt, pepper, etc), and did I mention they had a lot of TV show options? It was so comfy at the house that we barely made it to the slopes! We boarded at Okemo, which is an exact 18-minute drive away – super convenient! A bodega/corner store/deli/market/convenient store with beer growlers is walking distance away (literally right across the street pass the train tracks). It was nice to come back, drop off gears and walk over to do some grocery shopping for dinner. Prices there were reasonable. I would definitely consider staying here again for my next Okemo trip!

Vanessa2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

My friends and I had a wonderful weekend of skiing and relaxation at Jennifer and Michael's lovely house. From the comfy blankets to the soft and plentiful towels, stocked kitchen, and convenient washing machines, the house had everything we could have needed. We had a blast playing games, cooking, and just lounging in the common space. The location was perfect too - very easy 20 min drive to Okemo. Jennifer was super friendly and easy to communicate with, by far the most responsive and helpful host I've had in my years of Airbnb-ing. Thanks for everything!

Christina2017-01-29T00:00:00Z

Jennifer & Michael's place is in a quiet area of Chester with a really great market across the street for groceries. Super cozy and well-furnished with lots of colonial character. It was perfect for our long weekend ski trip, esp because it has a washer & dryer! Would definitely return in the future.

Lauren2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

My place is close to brooks, mountains, skiiing, biking, restaurants, stores. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

Although Cara was not there to greet us, her father in law did a great job of showing us around and making us feel at home. He was ready to help with any issues we had, be it lighting the fire or helping us with some ingredients we forgot. All in all it was a great stay in a cozy, atypical hut.

Cosima2016-10-02T00:00:00Z

I stayed in Cara's perfect little cottage with 9 friends, and from the second I booked the weekend to the moment we pulled out of the driveway, the whole experience could not have been better. Cara and I were in constant communication-- over airbnb messages and through texts-- and she was happy to answer all our questions. We were welcomed to the house by Cara's wonderful father who gave us all hugs upon arrival and showed us around. Cara's sister, Lisa, also left us a note with her number letting us know that she's just around the corner if we need anything. The house was clean and beautiful in the quaint little town of Chester. We went hiking in Hamilton Falls, apple picking at Alyson's Orchard, and ate out at Moondog Cafe for lunch and Free Range for Sunday brunch. The weekend couldn't have gone any better, and that is all thanks to Cara's hospitality and kindness.

Olivia2016-10-09T00:00:00Z

I stayed here with 4 friends as part of a golf trip weekend with some friends, while all of our significant others were at a bachelorette party. We pretty much were only at the house for an hour or two outside of sleeping, but it was the perfect place to stay for a night between the two courses that we were playing. Cara was really communicative and helpful.

Jack2017-05-21T00:00:00Z

Me and my friend's stayed at Cara's 300 year old country house, we really liked the vintage feel it brought, We were 7 people and they had enough beds to accommodate. We reached the place at about midnight and Cara's grandfather was up to welcome us and show us the place.We had to travel a bit for our Adirondacks trip, for a group of friends who needed a place to sleep-this might be a good choice. We had a great memorial day weekend!

Srikanth2017-05-29T00:00:00Z

Cara's place was perfect for my husband, myself, and our pup! We stayed for a week over Thanksgiving. The apartment is located very close to the town green area where you can find a coffee shop, pie store, nice restaurant, and great little shops. The apartment itself is very cozy and welcoming. It had everything we needed for hosting dinners for my family and an endless supply of linens and towels. It's open and roomy. Our pup enjoyed lounging by the cozy fireplace. Cara was incredibly easy to work with, and always available when we had questions. We definitely plan to stay at her place again!

Nikki2016-11-26T00:00:00Z

Cara was very accommodating when we had to cancel at the last minute.

In heart of ski area w/ A+restaurants & charming villages are two cozy bedrooms on 2nd fl of larger apt complex. Each bedroom has separate toilet/sink room, shared shower room. Hallway has washer/dryer, small refrig, coffee maker, microwave, toaster. Not a place to cook but a breakfast nook for sure. Cozy couch area w/ TV.

This two bedroom space is beautifully decorated, spacious and comfy, washer dryer, area for light food preparation.
Shared entrance w/brother who lives upstairs - his stairs are just inside the shared entrance door. He may be in and out but is always respectful of your privacy.

Our neighborhood is RURAL! We live on a dirt road off a dirt road with a beautiful brook running alongside the road and ponds up the hill on our property. In the summer we often have our neighbor's sheep in our fields, fish in pond, and wood waiting to be stacked for the winter. In the fall the mountains are colorful with colorful leaves, and spring just smells good; it is the hopeful time of the year as things are about to bloom. And winter - we have SNOW! And we keep our roads plowed. Come join us for any season.

Nancy and Hughs' place was exactly as they stated, it was lovely, and secluded and they offered us practically 100% privacy. While we only stayed one night, it was a great place to stay and was very convenient for the kids as well. Thank you and hope to come again some day!

I am a tour guide at heart and love to promote and have all visitors explore and experience Vermont. Your stay in my house invites you to the center of Vermont and easy heading north or south as it is convenient to I-91 and the Amtrak Vermonter. I can put together itineraries for you so you can find things in Vermont that only the natives now! I would love to host you and up to 4 ppl in this beautiful cape. Relax, visit the breweries, attractions, and historical sites all with arm's length!

The house is a cute 1940's cape on 6 acres. A quaint backyard is waiting for you to relax in the Adirondack chairs and build a fire. Take a walk on many of the nearby trails or take it the peaceful nature of VT. Close to major ski mountains and adventure zones!

Close to Ludlow, Vermont Country Store, restaurants and shopping. Just off exits 6 and 7 from I-91.

Beautiful cottage. The host is amazing, and helpful. We arrived late at night. The host gave us plenty of dinner recommendations prior to getting there. Once there, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I did not have to run to the store for my morning coffee. Could not have asked for anything better.

Our cozy quiet recently renovated apartment is located on a beautiful hilltop farm with views out from the porch across horse pasture and to the mountains as far away as New Hampshire. There are over 100 acres of field to walk through as well as a mile long trail running down through our property. We are 15 minutes from Chester, Ludlow and Weston and within half an hour of several major downhill ski resorts and 2 cross country ski areas.

The apartment has been renovated recently. Our daughter lived there for awhile before heading off to college and so it has a homey feel to it as well as being relatively free of clutter. It is very light and airy in the summer with large windows on 3 sides. I like to walk up from our house just a couple 100 yards away and sometimes just sit quietly and look out over the field to the mountains far away. It’s just a nice place to be.
The kitchen is outfitted for cooking. We provide some basics: salt, oil for the frying pan, coffee and a small selection of tea. We provide towels and linens and some toiletries. We ask that you take your outdoor shoes off when you come in to protect the new wood floor. Because the floor can be cold in the winter bring a pair of slippers or indoor shoes.
There is one very comfortable double futon bed in the bedroom and a double futon couch in the living area as well. The place is heated with a new Rinnai propane unit. We ask you to turn it down at night and when you are out and generally use energy thoughtfully.
There are lots of books and a few games to use. We hope to get internet access up and running soon and possibly even a TV screen for movies. But currently that is not available. There are places in town where internet is available and in an emergency you could come down to our house to use the WiFi. There is a shower but not a bathtub.

Vermont is rural and beautiful in all seasons--even mud season has its charm. You can have a restful, rejuvenating vacation just staying on the farm. But there are many restaurants, shops and activities nearby too.
My father in law used to joke that our farm is the SECOND most beautiful place in the world. The views are indeed awe inspiring and we feel there is a special spirit to the land.

Beautiful location, with gorgeous views of the valleys. Very quiet & remote, but a 15-20 min drive brings you to the areas with activities. We enjoyed Laura's sweet hospitality & the quiet of the home (except for the starling bird neighbors, haha).

Keleigh2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

What a treat to be welcomed to this wonderful farm. The apartment had everything we were looking for and it was nice to be unplugged from the digital world and closer to nature. We could see for miles from the porch and visiting with the horses was a treat for my daughter. Bed was comfortable. Wonderful visit. Thank you!

Yvette2017-05-28T00:00:00Z

Laura's place is clean with an elegant simplicity. I really appreciated a having a full kitchen with plenty of dishes and glasses and cookware to work with. The shower is small, but the water is hot. The bed and futon were both terrifically comfortable and plenty of blankets kept them cozy on a howling winter night. A friend and I shared the space while on a ski trip, and found it relaxing and a terrific base for exploring the area. Laura and her husband are friendly, funny and congenial hosts. If I get back to Vermont, I would definitely ask for permission to visit them again. Cell coverage was spotty in that area, so print out directions! (I had text and could get incoming calls, GPS navigator still worked with Verizon. My buddy had AT&T and could get nothing at all.)

Charles2017-02-17T00:00:00Z

The housing is quite comfortable with delightful details such as kindling by the wood stove, a French press, a shelf of intriguing books, and several games. The views are stunning, especially in the early morning. Easy access to ski mountains. We hope to be back soon! PS I did have cell phone service/LTE with Verizon at the house, although not in the surrounding towns.

The apartment itself is perfect as well -- it's got a fully stocked kitchen for all your needs and is very clean and cozy. The apartment sits on their beautiful farm and its a great place to getaway and enjoys rural Vermont. We loved their place, and we are looking forward to staying again next summer.

Krystina and Doug were extremely helpful. Their home was extremely beautiful and has lots of character. I really enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend visiting their wonderful home!

Amare guesthouse is the perfect place to relax with family and friends. It's homey and cozy while still maintaining a Victorian grace. Nights spent out on the porch with a glass of wine and a view from atop the hill were among the most peaceful times I've ever had on a vacation. The location couldn't be more convenient as it is in walking distance from all the cutest shops, restaurants, and cafes in town. I cannot wait to visit this very special place every summer.

It's a wonderful place to spend time with family and friends. The whole house is beautifully decorated and we especially loved the kitchen and porch. The boys loved running around the garden and Krystina gave some great tips to enjoy the surroundings / neighborhood.

Pieter2017-08-07T00:00:00Z

Krystina and Doug's house is wonderful. It is a large old house but is very beautifully and tastefully updated with lovely furniture and amenities. It is warm, the beds are comfortable and we had everything we needed. We spent a great day skiing at Okemo which is only 20 minutes away. The town of Chester is quite small but has some nice shops and restaurants. We bought several things at one of the local antique shops. Krystina and Doug's shop is also great with lots of little treasures. We love the pizza stone for dinner. I would highly recommend a stay

A nice cozy spot tucked away from the busier roads, this addition to a quiet house was the perfect getaway. Tom was there at check in and check out, but offered me privacy during my stay. 11/10 would book again.

This place is wonderful! It's a great place to just get away. Tom is a great host and the loft is so cute! Would definitely stay here again.

The stone house was a perfect weekend getaway. The house was spacious, beautiful and had everything we needed. Also the town of Chester was very cute and everything was within walking distance.

Molly2017-09-03T00:00:00Z

We loved the Stone House! The pictures do not do it justice, it is more than adorable and I will definitely reserve it again when I visit the area in the future! Doreen made me (and my husband and adult daughters) feel so welcome, answered every single question I asked beforehand, left us little goodies, and made us feel so welcome. The house was immaculate which I absolutely loved! My daughters walked in and immediately said "Can we buy this place?!" We will go back just to stay there again, thank you again for your hospitality!

Holly2016-06-27T00:00:00Z

Doreen is a fantastic host making sure all the accommodations are perfect and providing an environment for her guests to relax. The area provides a lot of good eats and plenty of outdoor activities that we took advantage of. But the best part is to be able to come back to a "home" after a day of exploring. The fireplace, waffle maker and location in the town were the highlights for us. We shall return!

John2016-12-29T00:00:00Z

House is lovely with a nice kids room. It was well stocked with towels, kitchen supplies etc. It was a perfect location for us too.

Jennifer2017-08-26T00:00:00Z

Doreen and Mike's 1843 Stone house was absolutely perfect for our quick Vermont getaway. The home was spacious, well equipped, cozy, and family friendly. The layout of the house was great for a family of 4 (2 adults, 2 children) plus another couple. Doreen and Mike go above and beyond with lots of little extras throughout the house. Lots of extra blankets and pillows. Laundry soap for the washing machine, coffee, filters, creamers, etc. in the kitchen. A fabulous welcome book with the history of the home and anything you might need to know about it or the super cute town of Chester. Okemo mountain was a quick 20 minute drive away. Doreen and Mike were extremely responsive to emails and a few phone calls, answering all of our questions and more. We all loved our visit in the Stone house and hope to return in the near future to explore the area further. Thank you so much Doreen and Mike!!!

Katie2016-02-28T00:00:00Z

This charming home is exactly as it is pictured but wait till you walk through the threshold and are welcomed "home"! Our hosts, Doreen and Michael, thought of everything...wine, cheese and locally brewed beer in the fridge, snacks on the credenza in the kitchen, fixin's for breakfast waffles and a well-thought out binder containing directions and/or procedures for anything we might need was in clear site. This is a true, beautifully furnished (URL HIDDEN) could be featured in a magazine! A nice large TV in the Living Room...and games to play! Who thinks of that!! Fabulous. The bedrooms were so cozy with comfortable beds, soft, freshly scented linens and easy access to extra blankets; even an (unused) alarm clock was available in each room. The bathrooms were well stocked with fluffy and thirsty towels. We were 3 couples spending a perfect weekend in almost peak foliage season. The restaurants that Doreen recommended were spot-on; Chester is the perfect little Vermont town to spend some special times in. We even met the artist who created the painting hanging over the antique stove in the living room! Thank you, Doreen and Michael, for a cherished Vermont memory in your lovely home.

Leslie2015-10-18T00:00:00Z

My Host provided everything i could possibly need to enjoy Chester and the surrounding towns. This was my 1st Airbnb experience and after it i am more inclined to check Airbnb in an area before i check a hotel. The stay was amazing the Privacy allowed by staying her home was the best. I am already in conversation with my Family considering another trip up to Vermont.

On Main Street in the charming town of Chester, our restored 5 bedroom, 4 bath 1820 home offers fun and relaxation! A two minute walk will find you in an authentic Scottish Pub or on the village green. Our family room with bar and TV is an after ski delight!

Our house is located in the charming town of Chester within walking distance of shops, restaurants, a pottery and art making business and an art gallery. It is very large with a beautiful wet bar, pellet stove and fireplace. Decorated with antiques and vintage furnishings, it is a comfortable space for a group of friends or family. There is a large family room, a living room and another sitting room, so there is plenty of extra space to read, relax, and enjoy the Vermont life. We have a porta crib/pack and play for children under 30 pounds, and a baby gate

The town of Chester is a beautiful Vermont village. We are located by the library and near the green where there are restaurants and shops, including a fe new antique shops. We also are located close to McLomain's Scottish Pub and the Pizza Stone. Chester has a town pool and great sleigh riding hill and is a lovely place to stroll and cross over the hanging bridge on the Williams Rver!

The owners are amazing, called when we check-in and checked out just to make sure we had a great time. They were so welcoming and super accommodating to all of my questions. The house is as pictured, clean, and with the Vermont feel. Not to mention in a great location. My group was unsure which mountains we wanted to go to ski when booking but this was right in the middle. 15 mins from Okemo, 30 mins from Stratton and Bromley. The house is great for large groups, the bar room was a plus we definitely enjoyed our stay! Added bonus: The Free Range and Irish Pub are great place to grab some food and they are within walking distance from the house!

Annamaria2017-03-05T00:00:00Z

Our stay here at Kathleen's spectacular Victorian home in the center of Chester was fabulous. The home itself is amazing. It's astonishingly well equipped with everything you could ever want: a good kitchen, an entertainment game room with a wet bar, lots of those Victoria sitting rooms all furnished with antiques and period coverings, lots and lots of bedrooms all with their own bathroom. It is nestled right in the center of this colorful and charming old new england town. Restaurants and art galleries in walking distance and the best cemetery across the street with 200 ' cedars and old revolutionary war heroes peacefully snoring away. The house is impeccably clean and with all the linens and pots and pans you need. And Kathleen was great to deal with. Responsive to all our question and very welcoming.

Kathleen2014-09-28T00:00:00Z

This home exceeded our expectations. The home is beautifully furnished. Everyone loved having their own bathroom and we enjoyed every room in the house. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking any meal. We so enjoyed the town of Chester and everything you may need is within walking distance. Our hosts gave us great insights for our stay and responded to any question that arose quickly. We had a wonderful stay in this home and would highly recommend you stay if you have a large group. The family room was great. Thank you sharing your home.

Letty2015-10-04T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Kathleen's house. Plenty of room, nice yard for playing games and grilling with family and friends. Would definitely recommend this rental to others.

Tim2017-06-05T00:00:00Z

The host was very easy to work with. The directions for accessing the house were sent to me with a couple days notice. The location was perfect to be able to walk to everything you needed. The house was very clean and had all the amenities necessary, the family room with pellet stove and bar was perfect. Thank you for having this property available.

Adam2016-12-05T00:00:00Z

Hosts were wonderful communicators, and we quickly felt at home at the house. Many wonderful amenities, and the house's layout is fun and interesting. It is very comfortable and in a great location.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Kathy and Neal's large wonderful home. Everything was just as described on the listing. Kathy was gracious and cooperative. The home was large , welcoming and comfortable. The location was perfect for our family celebration, and we loved the town of Chester. Our grandchildren, from ages 9 to 19, had a great time at TimberQuest at Magic Mountain - as did their parents!! It was challenging and fun! We look forward to coming back.

Every meal is a banquet, from farm hearty breakfasts to Michiko's celebrated old school Japanese cuisine at dinner (she also prepares real Japanese breakfasts for a small fee with advanced notice!) Let us be your home away from home in Vermont

The Old Town farm Inn has been operating for over 60 years. All of our comfortable guest rooms have ensuite baths. Some are set up for families, others for couples In total we can accommodate 24 guests total. We are fully licensed for lodging, restaurant and catering and subject to random inspections by the State of Vermont and local authorities.

Surrounding our property, all you see are forests and meadows. We are close to great hiking, fishing, cross country skiing (out the door) and downhill skiing at Okemo is ten minutes away.

Aleks and Michiko were great hosts and made us feel very welcome. The queen bed room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Michiko is a fantastic cook and we enjoyed scrumptious breakfasts before heading to the slopes.

Rafi2016-01-04T00:00:00Z

We spent a beautiful time in Michiko's and Aleks' cozy old farm house. Very kind and friendly couple who provided us with everything we needed. The room was spacious and comfortable, clean and charming. Communication was easy and pleasant. We would come back anytime!

Annika2015-10-21T00:00:00Z

We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. The location and property were great. Our room was a nice size with an extra small bed and a nice, comfortable queen size bed. The heat worked great which was appreciated after some cold days skiing at Okemo. Aleks and his wife were great hosts, and breakfast was great. Next time we will definitely be making a reservation for dinner as the food looked fantastic.

Justin2015-02-02T00:00:00Z

Meeting Aleks and Michiko for the first time felt like meeting up with existing friends. We truly had the perfect overnight getaway before heading to the slopes. Our room was spacious, well appointed & the relaxed atmosphere we experienced makes us want to revisit again in a new season. Breakfast was absolutely delicious too.

Karen2015-03-09T00:00:00Z

Aleks and Michiko were both excellent hosts. From the very first minute they make you feel right at home. My girlfriend has a gluten allergy and they accommodated her with breakfast options for our 3 night stay. The home itself is quaint and cute. The location is about a 10 minute easy straight shot to Okemo Mountain and a few minutes less to downtown Ludlow. Overall we were very happy with our stay and would stay again when in the area. PS - Aleks has a wealth of knowledge to restaurants, Okemo Mountain and things to do in the area. Don't be afraid to ask :)

Doug 2017-01-03T00:00:00Z

We enjoyed our stay at the inn. The room was well furnished and very comfortable. Aleks and Michiko (and their dog Sophie) are excellent hosts. Aleks gave us lots of tips for our travel. There is also an onsite restaurant and we loved Michiko's cooking!

Moira2016-05-18T00:00:00Z

Charming old farmhouse and antique furnishings made the adventure unforgettable. Large yard to wonder in and enjoy views, the pond and wildlife in the meadow. Hosts were kind and engaging. Meals were fantastic.

Diana2015-10-05T00:00:00Z

Nice house and Aleks & Michiko are great hosts. They were able to accommodate our last minute booking, which was very appreciated, and have extensive knowledge of the area and activities. The house is old but rooms are nice and comfortably furnished. The bed had a pillow top or egg crate and was comfortable. Quiet hours don't start until 11p and you can definitely hear conversations in the dining room through the floor from some rooms. We had a great time and would stay with them again if in the area.

Smokeshire Hilltop Farmhouse is part of a working farm, and we have rooms to share in the old Farmhouse. It has history, yet modern amenities. Access trails to hike or snowshore right out the door, close to ski areas, beautiful, serene, secluded, yet close to local villages for entertainment. Great place to get away.

We rent the bedrooms to singles or couples (one large room could accommodate a small family of 4). We live up the road a piece.

The house is at the end of a dirt road, off a dirt road at the end of steep hill. Secluded, yet less than 7 miles from the village of Ludlow, or the village of Chester.

The loft is a quit retreat, with a separate entrance you enter through your own mudroom great to store your bicycle or skis. Up the stairs to the main living space shows the old hand hewn beams. The space is bright and welcoming. A small kitchen will allow for meals or just coffee in the morning.

Quiet 100 acres to roam. We have trails, tennis, baseball and volleyball if you like to play or just sit by the campfire.

We are less than 10 miles from I91. Far enough to be a quiet retreat but close enough to run to the store if needed.
We have many great farm stands and farmers markets for fresh vegetables during the summer and a great small grocer with fantastic meat!

My place is close to Ski areas, hiking, outdoor activities, Manchester outlets.. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets).

We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay at the schoolhouse. The cottage was charming and the extra amenities such as complimentary wifi, a hammock in the backyard, and several board games made our stay even more enjoyable.

Rishi2016-08-22T00:00:00Z

Don't expect cell service in the area if you plan a trip which is alright because the area is beautiful. Internet access was present but slow and unreliable.

Marta2017-06-18T00:00:00Z

Very accommodating! Wish I had more time to enjoy the house and area!

Melissa2017-04-23T00:00:00Z

If you are looking for a weekend away from it all in the woods, this is the place for you. It is an adorable little cottage that used to be a school house. I loved how it was on a dirt road in the middle of the woods. It completely provided the quiet retreat we were looking for. It has basic but nice amenities. The only problem we ran into was that he had absolutely no service and/or wifi whatsoever. This made it challenging when we needed to put an address in our navigation. We had to drive about 10 minutes up the road to the town store to get service. Other than that, it was a lovely trip. We would definitely stay again!

Kyle 2017-06-25T00:00:00Z

This house was perfect for our family. We will return.

Mike2017-08-10T00:00:00Z

We had a truly lovely time at Katherine's school house. The house is cozy, quaint, and charming. Our family of six fit easily, and everything we needed was there. The house was super clean and welcoming. The front door does open to the road, and is pretty close to it, but it was easy enough to instruct the children to use the side door which goes to the yard. It was pretty minimal traffic on the dirt road anyway! We had no trouble finding the house with GPS directions and Katherine's tips, and enjoyed exploring and walking nearby over the weekend. We will definitely return to stay here again!

Sarah2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

This place was a dream. From the sweet smell of the old wood floors to the funky birch roof beams, it was calm and relaxing. It was also well stocked with everything you could need to bathe or cook. It was clear that the host had thought of even the smallest details. We hope to stay here again!
